The Assin Fosu District Police Commander, Chief Superintendent Leonard Abakah, said at about 11.45 am on Monday, the police had a report from a friend of the Kofi Abraham that he had found the body of Nana Ama.

The friend told the police that he received a telephone call earlier in the morning from Kofi Abraham that he [Kofi Abraham] had mistakenly locked up his nine year old son in his room and taken the keys away.

According to Chief Superintendent Abakah, Kofi Abraham pleaded with his friend to go to his home and break the door to enable the son come out.

The police said they found the mutilated body of Nana Ama in a pool of blood with several cutlass wounds. A cutlass and a pick axe suspected to have been used in the act were also found in the room.
The body has since been deposited at the St Xavier hospital at Assin Fosu while investigations continue.
